My friend and I answered a free-ad offering free guinea pigs and rabbits. Without going into too much details, the guinea pigs weren't in a good way so we've removed them. A rescue has assessed them, and they are all suffering with mites, a few of them including 2 sows with recent litters, very badly, almost bald in fact >
But I'm afraid we couldn't leave them all at the rescue : so I'm now the new mummy to two boars about 8 and 12 weeks old and my friend to one 12 weeks old and an older boar. If the babies survive I'm hoping to get one to try with Fudge in a few weeks. We've treated them with ivomec on the back of their necks and have been told to repeat it in 10 days.
Questions I have are:
What if anything should I bathe them in
Is there anything else I should do
I've called one Hurley (after character in Lost) but need ideas for another 'H' name Suggestions welcome !
They are really really really cute and I hope they're going to be ok
